sbullfrogs that come down from Spuyten
Duyyel creek to join in the Sunday
chorus. AS the legislators have neg
lected to pass a law prohibiting the
erOaking of frogs on Sunday, the police
give the banioists the benefit of the
doubt and make no effort to break up
the chorus by discriminating between
the ''kerpunk" and the "kerchung"
performers.
Wherever there is water there are
fishermen. 1t does not follow that any
fish are there, but the phIegmatic per-
sons who delight in drowning worms
never mind that. No fish of cultivated
taste would be caught in such muddy
stream as Harlem river, but it is tradi-
ton that tomcods sometimes get there
by mistake, and that eels infest the
bottom. A man caught a tommy there
once, and the fame of his exploit has
fired the imaginationS of many small
boys and some old boys. who sit all day
long in punts, or piers, or on lighters,
holding lines and waiting for bites. The
men in punts carry plenty of bait. On
a camp chair in the marsh above High
bridge, on the north bank, sits every

THE BEER BOAT.
rel of cool beer aboard and skins about
among the pleasure crafts selling the
beer by the glass. Boatmen, weary
with rowing, pull up beside the launch
and get refreshed. When the barrel is
empty the steam bar scoots away to lit
tie wharf, fresh barrel is rolled
aboard, and back she scoots among the
boats. 1t is great public convenience.
The enterprfSing man has imitators
who pull around in rowbOatS and sell
bottled beer and TASKS containing some
thing else. AS they pay no rent their
business is fairly profitable. They
run up to the banks and sup
ply deficiencies in the commits
sary department of picnic parties.
Some picnickers never get caught that
way. They always look out for the
liquor stores. The solitary amusement
seeker, who finds shady nook on
the bank and spends the day with
his newspaper, his lunch and pipe,
watching the boats and taking a snooze
now and then, always is well fixed as to
bottles. He does not tire himself pull
ing boat around all day, and he sees
everything that is picturesque, includ-
ing the green lighters with bright blue
maStS that sometimes drift down with
the tide. When the wind blows with
the stream the upper part of the Har-
lem river is attractive to bOatmen, but
when there is only light breeze from
the south that can't get over the bluff
it is more comfortable down in the
boiler room of steamship. But the
picnickerS don't mind that. They will
pant and perspire and imagine that
they have escaped very hot day in the
city. FRANKLIN FILE.

ON THE BLUFF NEAR HIGH BRIDGE
the river, are mere black specks. The
picturesque scenery of the river is above
High bridge, but the most animated sec
ton is between Harlem bridge and Nc
Combs dam, where the banks are fiata
the boat houses and beer pavilions are
thicker. The river down there is COW
cred with pleasure crafts ON Sunday
afternoon. George and Mary Ann come
up on the Third avenuesiine in their
best clothes and with their frontlets
banged, hire a boat and alternate be-
tween drifting about on the stream and
landing at pavilionS where beer, ice
cream and other holiday indispensables
are dispensed. Oarsmen go out to prac-
tice in their shells, Singly and in crews.
steam launches puff pertlyup and down
and in erratic courses, and more pre-
tentious steamboats, go snorting
back and forth with loads
of persons too lazy to row.
From one of the bridges the river looks
like mill pond covered with skipping
June bugs. The bugs dart hither and
thither. in an apparently aimless way,
and when the big steam bugs come
blowing along, kicking up swelIs in the
shallow stream absurdly out of proper
ton to their size, the little bugs ske-
daddie out of the way and rock up and
down on the waves for few minutes.
The Mary AIMS pretend to be fright
ened and make Shrill noises, and the
Georges cock their hats down over their
noses and look bold and tough. The
small steamers with big names run from
Harlem bridge up to High bridge, pass
under the arches and have very com
plicated job of turning around to come
back again. They stop at several land
ingS on the way to accommodate passen-
gers who get thirsty. Many of the beer
gardens are built on stills over the water
and have wharveS and float stages for
boats. Some Of them are fitted up for
dancing, and bands play there
on Sunday-when the police are
not spasmodically enforcing the law.
In one of the larger pavilions is an Or
chestrion, but when that is wound up
nowadays the beer barrel is plugged.
1t can be heard out on the river as well
as in tho pavilion, and the boating par
ties that carry their own beer enjoy the
combination of music and drink, which
the legislature has declared to be wick
ed and unlawful, and violate the Puri-
tan Sabbath thereby with deplorable
impunity. Some reckiessly immoral
persons play banjOS in the beer gard
ems. The "kerpink, kerpunk, ker-
pang" of the wicked instrument, heard
at distance, is distinguished with diff
fculty from the ''kerchung" of the

over the marsh mud to the f1oat-Stage,
where the boats are mOOred. At low
tide this stretch of mud, broken here
and there by shallow pools of dirty
water, is alive with stranded minnOwS
and bad smells. The survival of the
minnowS shows that they are tough and
devoid of the Olfactory nerve. The man
who lets boats is also a hardy animal,
with only rudimentary sense of the
value of money, however, and sells his
boats about six times during the season
and still has them when the season is
over. He helps the aquatic picnic party
into boat in buSineSS-like manner
and fixes things all ready for the start.

One of them, who keeps forty boats, had
let everything that would float before
noon one recent warm Sunday, and at
least half the boats were let twice dur
ing the day. he and his assistant took
in about 500 for their days work, and
became fervent admirers of the excise
laws. Besides the public boat houses,

DUYvEL.
Long experience has taught him that
the chances of catching anything are
small, and he ingeniously increases
them by using half a dozen rods. He
sticks the butts of the rods into the soft
ground about his chair so that the lines
will fall into the water. He sits there
all day watching the hobs, sustained
and soOthed by occasional pulls at an
anti-eXlSe jug at his side and an unfalt-
ering trust that the miracle of the stray
tOmcod of the Harlem will some day be
repeated. Sometimes the warm, Ian
guild air makes him sleepy, and hedozes
off, with his hat oyer his eyes. A pass
the cOrkS bob up and down, and the
rods sway little. The lone fisherman
of Spuyten Duyvel starts, makes
spasmOdic' clutch at rod, and yanks
one of the corks high in the air. Then
he resets the rod, cOnSults the Jug and
relapSeS into gentle slumber. Fishing
on the Harlem is sport specially
recommended to persons who have
heart disease and are cautioned by their
physicians to avoid excitement. The
tomcod. even when he bites, is not
ranked very high among game fish.

The picturesque scenery of the Har-
lem is, from High Bridge up toward
Spuyten Duyyel. The south bank is a
high wooded bluff. The trees grow
clear down to the waters edge, and
where the land owners have refra1ned
from Stringing barb wire fences. nice
little hooks can be found for picnic
parties. Some persons, who do not like
to see others have good time, put up
these fences, and lots of picnic clothes
are torn on the barbs. A great many
hotels are perched ON the summit and
slopes of the bluff, and all of them COM
mand fine views of the river and West
chester county. The landlords have
displayed lamentable poverty of inven-
ton in the matter of names, however.
Every hotel is called ''Lager Bier" The
name is painted ON big gilt signs, almost
as big as the hotels, that can be read
with the naked eye at the distance of a
mile and half. Lager bier is the most
striking feature of the scenery on the
Harlem. AT present the signs on the
south bank are decisions and
snares for the unwary. No beer
can be obtained Oh Sunday in any of
the 'sHOtel,s Lager Bier" because the
police are vigilant. On the Westminster
side the police are not so mischievously

can get their mouths deliciously moist

THE BALLADE OFTHE DREAM

Swift as sound of music fled
When no more the organ signs,
Sped as all old joys are sped,
So your lips, love, and your eyes,
So your gentle voiced replies,
Mine, one hour, in sleep that seem,
Fit away as slumber flies,
Following darkness like dream,
As the scent from roses red,
As the dawn from April skies,
As the phantom of the dead,
From the living love that HES;
AS the shifting shade that lies
On the moonlight-silvered stream.
So you rise, when dreams arise,
Following darkness like dream.
Could some witch with woven tread.
Gould some spell in fairy wise,
Lap about this dreaming head
In a mist of memories,
j should like him that lies
Where the lights on Latmos CLEAN.
Meath Selene down the skies
Following darkness like dream.
ENVOY.
Sleep, that grants what life denies.
Shadowy bounties and supreme,
Bring me back her face, that flies.
Following darkness like dream.
